Inscribed in his innermost being, man carries "the mark of nothing", "the empty trace". Since he carries that emptiness, he does everything to fill it up. He creates "imaginary selves" with the qualities which he values and which other people also value, and tries to impose them on others, seeking their admiration. The imaginary self allows him to get rid of the vision of his true self. That self which puts him in front of his emptiness produces in him tedium and uneasiness.
